The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned solemn and oppressive!
Some even unleashed their flying swords to attack the demon corpses!
Alas, they were thick-skinned!
Even the flying swords striking them were of no avail!
"What do we do? What do we do? Do we really have to step onto the sacrificial altar?" someone asked with a worried tone, a hint of tears in their voice!
"Even if I self-destruct my Golden Core, I will never step onto the altar!"
"Exactly, we cultivators fear no death, but we absolutely will not step onto the altar!"
Boom, boom, boom!
Countless demon corpses appeared behind them, in the air!
Completely sealing off this small realm!
Chen Nan's gaze was serious: "Don't mind the demon corpses, the real enemies are hidden amongst us!"
"Beware of your own kind!"
As he spoke, he bit his finger!
Using his hand as a brush and the sky as paper!
Infusing it with vigorous soul power, he wrote a divine talisman in the void!
The Talisman of Righteousness!
Heaven and earth harbor righteousness!
Righteousness shines through the ages!
Although the Talisman of Righteousness could not suppress the demon corpses!
It could, however, detect if any of the Dao Sect disciples had their minds controlled by demons!
As the Talisman of Righteousness appeared, dazzling righteous energy erupted in the sky!
Illuminating this small realm!
Everyone was bathed in the light of the talisman, feeling comfortable all over!
Yet, some emitted black demonic energy!
"They've been demonized, kill them quickly!" Chen Nan decisively struck, a sword slash killing a demonized disciple!
He had previously suspected that a team of two thousand people would not suffer more than ten casualties!
After all, the battlefield of gods and demons held too many unknowns!
This situation could only mean one thing: someone within them was demonized!
Because Chen Nan had warned everyone before!
Seeing demonic energy appearing on their companions, the disciples who were not demonized swiftly decapitated them!
Even if they didn't want to, they knew the consequences of being soft-hearted!
In an instant!
Only over thirteen hundred people remained in the field!
Over six hundred had been demonized, something no one had expected!
Of course, no one had expected Xuanyuan Yue's attainment in divine talisman arts to be so astonishing!
If he hadn't displayed it today, no one would have believed he was a divine talisman master!
"Everyone, offer your blood and infuse it into the divine talisman!"
"If anyone's blood causes the divine talisman to react abnormally, kill them immediately!"
Chen Nan spoke, he didn't believe only over six hundred had been demonized!
The remaining over thirteen hundred disciples also offered their blood, which floated into the air!
Over a hundred people's blood was detected as problematic by the divine talisman. Upon contact, it hissed and then black demonic energy seeped out!
Seeing this, those beside them immediately severed their heads!
The remaining over twelve hundred disciples felt lingering fear!
Because they had been together all along, they couldn't believe their companions were demonized!
"Look, the blood is flowing backward!"
Someone exclaimed!
Everyone looked at the ground!
The blood that had gathered into a river was now flowing backward towards the sacrificial altar!
Simultaneously, veins resembling human meridians appeared on the ground, and the blood was converging towards the altar along these veins!
"Could it be that if this blood enters the altar, the seal will be broken?" someone nervously asked!
Some among them wanted to sever the earth to prevent the blood from entering the altar, but it was utterly useless!
The ground here was exceptionally hard, impossible to cut!
"It shouldn't be!" Chen Nan said, "Although they are humans, they were demonized before, and their blood contains demonic energy. Calling them demons wouldn't be an exaggeration!"
"If demon blood could break the seal, then we wouldn't have to wait until today!"
"Junior Brother Xuanyuan speaks sense!" Geng Rao added, "There are too many corpses of gods and demons here, some of which still contain blood. If it were merely demon blood, there would be no need for this blood sacrifice!"
"If I'm not mistaken, opening the seal should require the blood of both humans and demons simultaneously!"
Humans are descendants of the divine race and possess divine blood in their veins.
Lu Yuqiu's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement: "Meaning, as long as we don't bleed, this seal cannot be opened?"
Chen Nan: "I feel, theoretically, that's correct!"
"Xuanyuan Yue, cast another divine talisman!" Ao Hanye whispered, "Your talisman can effectively suppress the approach of these distant demon corpses and also purify the demonic blood on the ground!"
"If we purify this demonic blood, even if we bleed, the seal won't be broken!"
Although he was displeased with Xuanyuan Yue, he knew how crucial his presence was at this moment!
"Do you think divine talisman arts are just random scribbling? It's not as simple as you think!" Chen Nan rolled his eyes exasperatedly, the Talisman of Righteousness had almost drained his soul power!
"Damn, I thought you were that strong!" Ao Hanye said with disdain, then took out a pill from his storage space: "Here, Nirvana Pill, quickly recover your soul power!"
This action earned him admiration!
The Nirvana Pill was a special pill for soul power. As long as soul power was depleted, it could be restored to its peak after taking it!
Of course, the value of a Nirvana Pill was very high!
Comparable to a ten-thousand-year-old spirit herb!
And everyone knew Ao Hanye was a very stingy person!
Even towards his own people, he was stingy!
Let alone the irreconcilable conflict between him and Xuanyuan Yue!
But this action earned him everyone's respect!
Regardless of their deep-seated animosity, when it came to matters of great importance, this guy was not hesitant!
"Oh, I didn't realize you had such a broad perspective!" Chen Nan was surprised by Ao Hanye's generosity and no longer hesitated, directly swallowing the pill!
Ao Hanye's mouth twitched: "My perspective has always been broad, otherwise, how could I be the First Holy Son? Even if you become a Holy Son in the future, you'll only be ranked fifth!"
After taking the pill, Chen Nan sat down cross-legged!
The next moment!
His depleted soul power recovered rapidly, like bamboo shoots after rain!
However, it would take the time of smoking a cigarette to recover to its peak!
"Let's attack together first and try to hold back these demon corpses!" Geng Rao said, summoning his magical artifact to strike at the demon corpses!
Although it had no effect, it could at least slow their advance!
Yes!
What they needed was to stall for as much time as possible, waiting for Chen Nan's soul power to return to its peak!
If he could cast a second Talisman of Righteousness, he could completely purify the demonic energy on the ground!
This way, the demons' blood sacrifice plan would be completely foiled!
Just as Chen Nan sat cross-legged recovering his soul power!
Just as others unleashed their magical artifacts and swords to fend off the approaching demon corpses!
Lu Yuqiu's eyes turned inky black!
She silently appeared behind Chen Nan!
Her long sword pierced through Chen Nan's body...
